up  the  deficiencies  along  with  such  college  work  as  can  be  carried. 

Three  hours  of  either  History  or  Economics  have  been  added  to  the 
list  of  required  college  studies.  This  requirement  will  affect  only 
Freshmen. 

Hereafter  no  work  in  absentia  will  be  counted  toward  degrees. 

The  completed  thesis  for  a Master’s  degree  must  be  presented  to  the 
Committee  on  Graduate  Study  not  later  than  the  last  Saturday  in 
April,  instead  of  May  as  heretofore. 


SCHEDULE. 

An  entire  change  has  been  made  in  the  morning  schedule  of  recita- 
tions, giving  a ten-minute  recess  between  the  second  and  third  periods, 
and  bringing  the  “Assembly”  period  last  in  the  morning.  The  revised 
schedule  is  as  follows:  8:00,  8:55,  9:55,  10:50,  11:45. 


Assembly  Requirement. 

A daily  record  will  be  kept  of  attendance  at  assembly.  This  record 
will,  with  the  exception  of  unexcused  absences,  be  final  for  each  week. 
If  a student  shall  at  any  time  incur  a total  of  two  absences  above  the 
one  allowed  each  week,  his  name  will  be  posted  and  excuse  required 
before  the  Chapel  Committee.  If  three  absences  are  incurred  above  the 
one  allowed  each  week,  registration  will  be  cancelled  in  all  classes  until 
the  matter  is  adjusted  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  committee.

EDNA  JUNE  TERRY,  A.  B. 


Oratory. 

A recent  number  of  “The  Intercollegiate  Spectator,”  published  by  the 
students  of  the  University  of  Wisconsin,  contains  an  article,  “Edna 
June  Terry — A Sketch,”  a portion  of  which  is  reprinted  here: 

“Three  years  after  finishing  her  high  school  work,  Miss  Terry  com- 
pleted a course  at  the  Cumnock  School  of  Oratory  at  Evanston.  Later, 
at  Columbia,  Mo.,  she  took  the  leading  part  in  three  productions  which 
were  staged  by  the  Quadrangle  Club. 

“Miss  Terry  is  a senior  in  the  College  of  Letters  and  Science,  a mem- 
ber of  the  Kappa  Kappa  Gamna  Sorority,  and,  aside  from  her  regular 
and  incidental  college  activities,  she  devotes  much  time  to  platform 
work.” 


DEPARTMENTS  OF  INSTRUCTION 


11 


The  article  goes  on  to  say  that  Miss  Terry’s  many  and  varied  experi- 
ences in  different  institutions,  organizations,  and  on  the  lecture  plat- 
form have  given  her  a point  of  view  which  is  rarely  accorded  the  college 
girl ; that  she  belongs  to  a class  which  contributes  its  best  toward  col- 
lege life  without  neglecting  either  friends  or  studies. 

The  College  of  Oratory  is  specially  fortunate  in  securing  Miss  Terry. 
The  public  will  have  an  opportunity  to  hear  her  in  public  recital  Friday 
evening,  October  first,  in  the  University  Methodist  Church. 


CHARLES  W.  LAWRENCE.  C.  E. 


Civil  Engineering. 

Charles  W.  Lawrence,  who  has  been  elected  to  the  head  of  the  Civil 
Engineering  Department,  received  his  Bachelor  of  Science  dggree  from 
the  Pennsylvania  State  College,  and  later,  the  C.  E.  degree  from  the 
same  institution.  He  is  an  associate  member  of  the  Americal  Society 
of  Civil  Engineers  and  also  of  the  Illinois  Society  of  Engineers.  That 
Professor  Lawrence  will  bring  to  his  classes  the  added  practical  knowl- 
edge of  engineering  work  to  that  of  the  theoretical  collegiate  instruction 
is  evidenced  by  the  experience  which  he  has  had.  From  1897  to  1899 
,he  was  instructor  in  the  Pennsylvania  State  College ; structural  en- 
gineering with  the  Pennsylvania  Steel  Company,  1899-1901 ; structural 
engineer  for  the  Brown-Ketcham  Iron  Works,  Indianapolis,  1901-1904;

1904-1906;  professor  of  Civil  Engineering  in  the  James  Millikin  Uni- 
versity, 1906-1909.  During  the  Summer  of  1906  and  1907,  Professor 


12 


UNIVERSITY  OF  SOUTHERN  CALIFORNIA 


Lawrence  was  designer  for  the  Neolke-Richards  Iron  Works  of  In- 
dianapolis; in  1908,  engineer  and  estimator  for  the  Westlake  Construc- 
tion Company  of  St.  Louis,  and  during  the  past  Summer  as  engineer  for 
the  American  Bridge  Company  of  Chicago. 

Professor  Lawrence  will  have  the  assistance  of  Jerome  G.  Van  Zandt 
of  Wisconsin  University,  Walter  E.  Jessup,  Ralph  W.  Clark  and 
Stephen  H.  Clark. 


JEROME  B.  VAN  ZANDT,  C.  E. 


Professor  Van  Zandt  received  his  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science  in 
Civil  Engineering  from  Purdue  in  1904,  and  that  of  Civil  Engineer 
from  Wisconsin  in  1907.  For  the  last  two  years  Professor  Van  Zandt 
has  been  instructor  in  the  University  of  Wisconsin. 

Mr.  Jessup  will  have  entire  charge  of  all  the  field  work  in  Elementary 
and  Railroad  Surveying.  Mr.  Ralph  Clark  and  Stephen  Clark  will  act 
as  field  assistants  in  Surveying. 

The  department  will  occupy  the  entire  lower  and  upper  floors  of  the 
gray  frame  building.  A cement  and  testing  laboratory  will  be  installed 
in  the  large  room  formerly  occupied  by  the  book  store.

Electrical  Engineering. 

The  department  in  installing  new  equipment  for  the  third  and  fourth 
year  laboratory  work  and  will  be  prepared  to  give  a complete  four  years’ 
course.  The  apparatus  added  this  Summer  consists  of  a twelve-horse- 
power Fairbanks-Morse  engine,  jl/2  K.  W.  direct-current  generator 
made  by  Three  Rivers  Electric  Co.,  7l/2  K.  W.  Westinghouse  Rotary 
converter  and  7J4  K.  W.  General  Electric  Co.  alternator,  besides  several 
high  grade  Weston  indicating  voltmeters,  ammeters  and  wattmeters, 
rheostats,  etc. 

The  engine  is  of  the  special  electric  type,  mounted  on  concrete  foun- 
dation, and  equipped  with  heavy  fly-wheels  and  throttling  governor  to 
insure  smooth  running.  It  is  belted  to  a shaft,  also  provided  with  fly- 
wheel, and  to  this  shaft  the  electric  machines  are  connected.  The 
system  has  been  made  very  flexible  so  that  the  machines  may  be  oper- 
ated together  in  many  different  combinations,  all  similar  to  commercial 
installations. 

The  alternating  current  generator  is  provided  with  an  armature 
winding,  which  admits  of  a large  number  of  phase  and  voltage  combi- 
nations, and  its  adaptability  to  testing,  experimental  work  and  demon- 
stration is  almost  unlimited.  It  is  supplied  with  four  rotors,  viz : a re- 
volving six-pole  field,  a squirrel-cage  rotor,  a wound  rotor  with  internal 
resistance,  and  a rotor  with  controller  and  external  resistance,  so  that 
it  . may  also  be  operated  as  a synchronous  motor,  induction  motor,  vari- 
able speed  motor  or  frequency  changer. 

The  Westinghouse  rotary  converter  is  arranged  to  operate  as  a direct 
rotary,  inverted  rotary,  alternating  current  generator  of  one,  two  or 
three  phases,  as  a direct  current  generator  at  125  volts,  as  a synchonous 
motor  and  as  a shunt  or  compound  motor. 

Three  small  motor-generator  sets,  consisting  of  three-phase  induction 
motors  and  125-volt  D.  C.  generators  of  from  one  to  two  H.  P.  capacity, 
have  been  set  up  for  small  testing,  exciter  sets,  etc.  One  of  the  induc- 
tion motors  has  had  its  windings  arranged  in  colors  to  show  the  phases 
and  poles,  and  the  ends  of  the  coils  brought  out  to  a terminal,  diagram 
board,  where  the  connections  may  be  studied  and  experimented  upon. 

Switch-board  testing  benches  have  been  installed  for  the  machines 
described  above  and  the  wiring  of  the  laboratory  extended  to  make 
inter-connection  between  the  machines  possible.  Three-phase,  220-volts 
and  single-phase,  no  volts  currents  are  available  in  the  Dynamo  room, 
Electrical  Measurements  room  and  Lecture  room,  and  other  circuits 
may  have  any  desired  voltage  impressed  upon  them. 

A room  especially  intended  for  Electrical  Measurements  has  been 
fitted  up.  It  will  be  used  for  delicate  testing  and  calebrating,  and  as  a 
stock  room  for  meters,  etc.  The  new  meters,  added  to  the  department’s 
already  extensive  set  of  measuring  instruments,  make  this  equipment 
very  complete. 

A set  of  transformers  will  be  built  in  the  laboratory. 

The  work  of  the  department  will  be  under  Professor  Arthur  W.  Nye 
and  Professor  J.  C.  Gaylord,  Mr.  E.  F.  Scattergood,  chief  electrical 
engineer  on  the  Los  Angeles  Aqueduct,  acting  in  an  advisory  and  con- 
sulting capacity.

tion room  in  room  i,  Professor  Van  Zandt  in  room  4.  Professor  Nye 
and  Miss  Tottenham  will  use  Dr.  Healy’s  old  office  as  the  office  of  the 
Drawing  Department,  their  former  office  being  added  to  the  draughting 
room. 

In  the  south  wing  Professor  Dixon’s  large  recitation  room  has  been 
divided  to  accommodate  Professor  Shepard  and  Professor  Foster. 

The  new  seats  in  the  Assembly  Hall  will  be  a welcome  change  to  old 
students  and  a comfort  to  the  Freshmen. 

The  new  desk  in  the  Main  Office  will  hereafter  be  the  official  position 
of  the  Registrar.  Professor  Schulz  will  give  most  of  his  time  to  this 
work.

THE  COLLEGE  OF  LAW 

The  development  of  the  College  of  Law  has  been  such  that  each  year 
for  the  past  five  it  has  been  necessary  to  secure  larger  quarters  and 
better  equipment  to  accommodate  its  students.  Last  year  the  school 
moved  from  the  old  Rindge  Building  to  the  modern  Exchange  Build- 
ing, and  almost  doubled  the  space  occupied  by  it.  There  was  an  in- 
crease of  44  per  cent  in  attendance  over  the  previous  year,  and  a much 
higher  grade  of  scholarship  was  established.  The  quarters  secured  at 
that  time  in  the  Exchange  Building  were  expected  to  be  large  enough 
for  three  years  to  come. 

However,  at  the  end  of  the  first  year  the  school  has  outgrown  its 
rooms  and  during  the  coming  year  it  will  occupy  almost  an  entire  floor 
of  the  Exchange  Building  on  the  corner  of  Third  and  Hill  streets.  The 
library  space  has  been  doubled  and  about  five  hundred  new  books  added. 
All  class  rooms  are  now  equipped  with  oak  or  maple  chairs  with  arm 
rests,  and  the  offices  are  large  and  well  arranged. 

It  is  expected  that  the  attendance  during  the  coming  year  will  ex- 
ceed 300.  For  the  first  time  the  Law  Department  will  take  up  athletics 
in  earnest  and  will  have  representative  teams  in  all  athletic  events.  It 
is  expected  that  a Debating  Team  will  be  brought  from  one  of  the 
Eastern  schools,  and  every  effort  will  be  made  to  add  interest  to  the 
work  in  Debate  and  Oratory. 


DENTAL  DEPARTMENT 

This  department  will  commence  its  fourteenth  year  on  Tuesday,  Octo- 
ber 5th.  The  list  of  matriculates  this  session  promises  to  exceed  that 
of  the  last,  and  thus  to  keep  pace  with  the  general  growth  of  the  Uni- 
versity. 

The  upper  classes  have  also  made  material  gains  from  Eastern  col- 
leges. 

So  far,  there  has  been  but  one  change  made  in  the  faculty,  Dr.  J.  D. 
McCoy  becomes  Professor  of  Orthodontia  in  place  of  Dr.  Robinson,  the 
latter  having  gone  abroad  for  study. 

Several  of  our  most  noted  teachers  have  been  attracted  to  Southern 
California,  seeking  health  for  some  member  of  their  family,  and  thus 
we  have  been  the  gainer.  These  professors,  not  wishing  to  retire  from 
active  work,  are  giving  a part  of  their  time  to  this  college. 

Our  clinic  was  so  great  last  year  that  we  were  able  to  register  3008 
new  patients  in  eleven  months,  besides  a number  whom  the  students 
were  unable  to  care  for.  Correspondence  and  personal  visits  are  so- 
licited.

THE  COLLEGE  OF  PHYSICIANS  AND  SURGEONS 

Medical  Department  of  the  University  of  Southern  California 

The  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons,  516  East  Washington  street, 
has  consolidated  with  the  University  of  Southern  California  and  is  now 
an  integral  part  of  the  University.  The  Trustees  of  the  University  and 
of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  felt  that  by  combining  their 
resources,  clinical  facilities  and  teaching  staffs,  a broader  and  more 
thorough  training  would  be  possible  than  could  be  offered  by  either  in- 
stitution alone,  and  by  their  coalescence  the  best  ends  of  medical  instruc- 
tion in  Southern  California  would  be  furthered. 


COLLEGE  OF  PHYSICIANS  AND  SURGEONS,  U.  S.  C. 


The  new  location  is  ideal  for  a College  of  Medicine.  The  main  build- 
ing, 516  East  Washington  street,  consisting  of  three  stories,  is  commo- 
dious and  equipped  with  modern  appliances  and  apparatus.  The  Faculty 
of  the  College  is  made  up  of  physicians  and  surgeons  standing  high  in 
their  profession  and  representing  the  leading  universities  of  this  country 
and  Europe. 

The  fall  semester  of  the  College  opens  September  13th.

UNIVERSITY  OF  SOUTHERN  CALIFORNIA 


THE  COLLEGE  OF  THEOLOGY 

The  Maclay  College  of  Theology  was  founded  about  twenty  years 
ago  by  State  Senator  Chas.  Maclay  in  a generous  endowment  of  lands 
in  the  San  Fernando  valley.  Rev.  R.  W.  C.  Farnworth,  presiding  elder 
of  the  Los  Angeles  district,  was  its  first  dean,  the  faculty  being  com- 
pleted by  the  appointment  of  Reverends  Fletcher  B.  Cherington  and 
James  Blackledge.  On  the  death  of  Dean  Farnsworth,  the  Rev.  R.  S. 
Maclay,  D.D.,  the  veteran  missionary  from  the  Orient,  was  called  to  the 
headship  of  the  college  which  bears  his  name.  When  advancing  years 
and  failing  strength  caused  the  resignation  of  Dr.  Maclay,  the  Rev. 
Geo.  Cochran,  D.D.,  was  called  to  succeed  him. 

Through  all  this  period  the  college  had  been  doing  excellent  work, 
coming  about  the  time  of  the  succession  of  Dr.  Cochran  from  its  first 
home  in  the  San  Fernando  valley  to  the  immediate  neighborhood  of  the 
College  of  Liberal  Arts  in  Los  Angeles. 

In  the  hard  times  of  1893  the  trustees  thought  it  expedient  to  close 
the  Maclay  College  until  its  resources  should  warrant  the  continuance 
of  its  work.  At  the  session  of  the  Southern  California  Annual  Confer- 
ence in  1907,  on  the  urgent  request  of  the  conference,  the  decision  was 
made  to  resume  work  in  theology,  and  its  present  dean,  Rev.  E.  A. 
Healy,  D.D.,  was  appointed.  The  current  session,  1909-10,  is  its  third 
year  of  new  life.  Dean  Healy  came  to  his  work  with  matured  knowl- 
edge of  the  requirements  of  the  pastorate,  and  with  large  experince  in 
educational  work  as  superintendent  and  teacher  in  school  and  college, 
his  own  scholastic  honors  being  the  A.B.  and  A.M.  degrees  from  Vic- 
toria and  Toronto  Universities,  respectively,  and  the  Doctorate  in 
Divinity  from  his  Alma  Mater. 

Associated  with  him,  completing  the  Faculty  of  Instruction,  are  the 
following,  each  of  whom  is  eminent  and  successful  in  his  chosen  field  :

UNIVERSITY  OF  SOUTHERN  CALIFORNIA 


The  intimate  relation  of  Maclay  College  to  the  College  of  Liberal 
Arts  is  of  great  advantage  to  both,  appearing  in  the  convenience  of 
location  on  the  same  campus,  and  the  interchange  of  credits  where 
subjects  are  common  to  the  two  colleges. 

It  is  the  aim  of  the  College  of  Theology  to  do  all  that  is  possible  to 
furnish  the  churches  of  our  constituency  with  preachers  who  shall  be  at 
once  scholarly  and  evangelical  and  pastors  who  shall  be  apt  and  suc- 
cessful in  their  difficult  work. 

In  pursuance  of  this  aim  the  following  courses  are  arranged,  with  the 
specified  conditions  of  admission:  / 

1.  The  Degree  Course.  A three  years’  course  for  students  who  have 
obtained  the  A.B.  degree.  The  completion  of  this  course  will  entitle 
the  graduate  to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Divinity. 

2.  The  Diploma  Course.  This  is  also  a three  years’  course,  open  to 
students  who  have  the  equivalent  of  junior  standing  in  the  College  of 
Liberal  Arts.  The  Maclay  College  Diploma  will  be  granted  to  gradu- 
ates in  this  course. 

3.  Students  will  be  admitted  as  specialists  to  any  classes  that,  in  the 
judgment  of  the  Faculty,  they  can  enter  with  advantage,  and  certificates 
will  be  given  for  all  subjects  satisfactorily  taken. 

Admission.  A license  to  preach  will  be  a sufficient  credential.  Those 
not  so  qualified  may  present  a certificate  from  their  pastor  as  to  their 
fitness  to  study  for  the  Christian  ministry,  or  for  other  religious  work. 

EXPLANATORY  NOTES. 

Old  Testament  and  Hebrew — Professor  James  Blackledge. 

Related  Subjects.  The  main  object  of  instruction  in  this  depart- 
ment is  the  securing  of  a good  reading  knowledge  of  the  Hebrew  text; 
hence  during  the  first  two  years  of  the  course  special  attention  is  given 
to  oral  class-reading  exercises — the  fundamental  principles  and  rules 
underlying  the  Hebrew  language — the  origin  of  grammatical  forms,  with 
some  exegetical  study  during  the  second  semester  of  the  second  year. 

A greater  part  of  the  first  two  years  is  devoted  to  the  study  of  the 
text  of  the  Pentateuch.  During  this  time,  the  student  is  requested  to 
look  up  the  inscriptions  of  Israel’s  neighbors — the  Assyrians  and  Baby- 
lonians— in  the  library,  with  the  view  of  aiding  in  the  study  of  the  text. 

The  principal  object  of  our  method  of  instruction  is,  by  constant 
review,  and  frequent  composition  exercises,  to  make  an  otherwise  dry 
study,  as  interesting  as  possible.  During  the  latter  half  of  the  course 
will  be  taken  up  the  studies  in  Messianic  prophecy,  with  more  exegetical 
work ; exegetical  studies  in  the  minor  prophets,  and  a critical  study  of 
the  Book  of  Job.  During  the  last  semester  of  the  course  there  will  be 
grammatical,  critical  and  exegetical  studies  of  selections  from  the  Book 
of  Psalms.  During  the  entire  course  occasional  lectures  will  be  given 
on  the  Old  Testament  and  related  subjects. 

New  Testament  Exegesis  and  Interpretation — Prof.  John  G.  Hill. 
This  course  is  designed  to  furnish  the  student  with  an  accurate  concep- 
tion of  the  contents  of  the  more  important  books  of  the  New  Testament, 
not  only  as  a whole,  but  in  detailed  study  of  leading  passages,  doctrinal 
sections,  striking  discourses,  obscure  phrases,  and  significant  words. 


COLLEGE  OF  THEOLOGY 


21 


The  effort  is,  not  to  read  meanings  into  the  passages  considered,  but 
to  get  the  original  author’s  exact  viewpoint.  This  is  often  a most  diffi- 
cult task  and  calls  for  modern  scientific  methods  of  application  in  exege- 
sis. To  obtain  the  exact  idea  intended  by  the  author,  the  interpretative 
principles,  methods  and  rules  must  be  learned  and  applied.  Some 
knowledge  of  the  Greek  language  will  b ehelpful.  Two  hours  through- 
out the  year,  Tuesday  and  Thursday  (hours  to  b earranged). 

Prerequisite,  Bible  i,  2,  3,  4. 

PASTORAL  THEOLOGY. 

Professor  Hughes. 

Dr.  Hughes  gives  one  lecture  a week  on  this  important  subject,  and  is 
attracting,  in  addition  to  the  regular  theological  students,  many  minis- 
ters who  have  been  long  in  the  pastoral  work.  His  style  is  strong  and 
clear  and  holds  one’s  interest  to  the  last  sentence.  His  range  of  sub- 
jects covers  the  whole  field  of  the  pastor’s  life  and  work.  The  place  of 
Pastoral  Theology;  the  history,  theory,  and  practice  of  preaching;  the 
call  to  the  ministry ; the  preparation  to  be  added  to  nature’s  qualifications 
for  the  work ; the  history,  constitution  and  development  of  the  church ; 
what  the  church  does  for  the  pastor,  and  the  pastor’s  obligation  to  the 
church ; relation  of  children  to  the  church,  and  of  the  pastor  to  the 
children ; the  minister  and  his  brethren ; the  pastor  and  the  Sunday 
school ; the  pastor  and  the  literature  of  the  church ; his  use  of  books 
and  libraries ; methods  and  means  of  worship ; pastoral  visitation ; the 
institutional  church ; the  minister  and  social  problems,  such  themes  and 
many  others,  treated  in  the  trenchant  style  of  Dr.  Hughes,  comprise  a 
course  of  living  interest  and  great  value.  Christian  workers  and  others 
interested  are  admitted  to  these  lectures. 

NEW  TESTAMENT  GREEK. 

Professor  Owen. 

Those  who  have  had  no  previous  training  in  the  Greek  language  will 
register  for  course  1 in  the  College  of  Liberal  Arts. 

2.  The  Gospel  according  to  John  will  be  studied  as  a basis  for  mas- 
tering the  language  of  the  New  Testament.  Harper  and  Weidner’s 
Introductory  Greek  Method  will  be  used  throughout  the  year.  Two 
hours  both  semesters ; 2 :oo  Tuesday  and  Thursday. 

3.  The  Gospel  according  to  Luke;  selection  from  the  Acts;  Epistle 
of  James,  Intensive  Grammar  and  Syntax  drill;  work  derivation  and 
synonyms.  Two  hours  (hours  to  be  arranged). 

CHURCH  HISTORY. 

Professor  Coultas. 

In  this  subject  the  work  begins  with  the  Life  and  Times  of  Christ, 
and  progresses  through  the  Apostolic,  Mediaeval  and  Middle  ages  to 
Modern  times. 

The  history  of  doctrine  is  traced  from  the  beginning;  special  care  is 
taken  with  the  great  movements  of  the  Church,  such  as  the  Reforma- 
tion, the  Wesleyan  Revival,  and  the  Church  in  America,  including  the 
history  of  American  Methodism.  Bishop  Hurst’s  volumes  are  made  a 
basis,  but  wide  reference  is  had  to  standard  authors. 


22  UNIVERSITY  OF  SOUTHERN  CALIFORNIA 


SYSTEMATIC  THEOLOGY. 

Dean  Healy. 

With  the  works  of  Dr.  Miley,  Professor  Sheldon,  Chancellor  Bur- 
wash,  and  older  writers  who  enter  upon  the  whole  field ; together  with 
the  contributions  of  specialists  on  particular  topics,  students  are  kept  at 
work  in  this  basal  subject  through  the  whole  three  years. 

While  modern  critics  have  their  hearing,  our  spirit  is  conservative, 
and  fidelity  to  our  recognized  and  tried  standards  is  fostered. 

CHRISTIAN  EVIDENCES. 

Foundations  of  Faith — Professor  Hill. 

This  course  .will  take  up  those  phases  of  thought  and  facts  of  life  that 
confront  the  student  of  today.  The  idea  of  God  and  the  divine  imma- 
nence ; man  and  the  legitimacy  of  the  religious  principle  in  the  human 
constitution;  the  Bible  as  a revelation  of  God’s  relation  to,  and  purpose 
concerning  man’s  life  and  destiny;  the  facts  of  conversion  and  the  his- 
tory of  Christianity  as  witnesses  to  the  divine  origin  of  the  system ; and 
a consideration  of  the  assumptions  of  modern  cults  which  oppose  or 
offer  themselves  as  substitutes  for  Christianity. 

THE  HISTORY  OF  CHRISTIAN  MISSIONS. 

Professor  Coultas. 

This  course  requires  two  semesters.  The  first  begins  with  Paul,  A.  D. 
46,  and  continues  to  Carey,  A.  D.  1792.  It  briefly  considers  the  condi- 
tion of  the  world  when  Paul  and  Barnabas  leave  Antioch  in  the  year  46, 
and  studies  the  missionary  spirit  that  manifested  itself  to  Carey’s  time 
under  the  following  agencies : promiscuous,  governmental,  papal, 
monastic,  mendicant  orders,  miltary  power,  Jesuits,  colonization,  and 
denominational.  The  second  semester  deals  with  modern  missions,  their 
past,  present  and  promise. 

ANGLO-SAXON  BIBLE. 

Professor  Dixon. 

A rare  opportunity  is  afforded  our  students  in  the  presentation  of  a 
series  of  lectures  on  the  Anglo-Saxon  Gospels,  with  readings  from  the 
text. 

Special  lectures  on  Foreign  Missions  will  be  delivered  by  Dr.  Geo.  B. 
Smythe.  His  accurate  knowledge  and  wide  experience  make  these 
addresses  not  only  valuable  to  our  student  volunteers,  but  of  vital  in- 
terest to  all  students  of  aggressive  Christianity. 

TERMS  AND  EXPENSES. 

Tuition  in  Maclay  College  is  free.  A registration  fee  of  $10.00  a 
semester  is  charged,  with  $2.00  from  men  who  take  training  in  gym- 
nasium and  on  the  athletic  field. 

Lectures  by  men  and  women  of  eminence  in  special  fields  are  given 
frequently  in  the  College  Chapel  and  are  free  to  all  our  students. 

Three  hours  in  each  semester  will  be  allowed  in  the  College  of  Liberal 
Arts  without  charge.  For  additional  subjects,  the  rates  current  in  that 
college. 


COLLEGE  OF  THEOLOGY 


23 


It  will  be  noted  that  a new  member  of  the  faculty  this  year  is  the 
Rev.  George  W.  Coultas.  He  is  one  of  the  progressive  younger  men  of 
the  Southern  California  Conference.  He  has  the  Bachelor’s  degree  in 
both  Arts  and  Theology,  and  brings  to  the  chair  of  Church  History  and 
the  History  and  Status  of  Missions  a generous  equipment. 

Advantageous  terms  have  been  secured  with  the  College  of.  Oratory 
for  a course  in  Bible  and  Hymn  reading. 

The  departments  of  History,  Sociology,  Biology,  and  Metaphysics  in 
the  College  of  Liberal  Arts  are  convenient  and  attractive. 

CALENDAR. 

Registration  Day*  October  4th. 

Lectures  begin  October  5th. 

Subsequent  dates  uniform  with  those  of  College  of  Liberal  Arts. 

Numerous  charges  in  the  vicinity  of  Los  Angfeles  find  pastors  among 
our  students,  and  our  District  Superintendents  are  glad  to  make  such 
arrangement  where  it  is  mutually  satisfactory. 

An  information  and  employment  bureau  is  maintained  by  the  Uni- 
versity Y.  M.  C.  A.,  which  is  very  helpful  to  those  who  wish  to  support 
themselves  while  in  attendance  at  college. 

Maclay  College  begins  the  session  of  1909-10  in  its  new  building  on
